Double Click in Resource Editor

[David Viggiano]

In earler versions, you could configure DevStudio to open the Properties dialog when you doubled clicked on a dialog item. Now it seems to add the "default" message handler. Anyone figure out how to get the Open Properties behavior?

there is no properties dialog. that's why. (No [ctrl]+w either) instead there is a property inspector. It's hard getting used to, but now at least I think it's better.

Hi Hugo, thanks for the reply. I can live with that. My real problem is I double-click on a dialog item and I get the defaul message handler inserted. And (see subject below) it is not possible to delete the message handler using the IDE, you have to manually clean up everything. While not a big deal, I've "trained" myself to double-click on an item to edit the props. So what I really want is a way to change the default double-click behavior to something less obtrusive.

Whatever it's called, the new properties "thing" is ridiculous. A long list of text items, all of which look the same. Booleans, text strings, miltiple-choice options - all presented in exactly the same manner. No visual clues to take you to what you're looking for. In other words, a classic case of bad design.
